Your gut microbiome shapes your immune system and mental health. Fiber intake and diet directly influence which bacteria thrive in your digestive system, affecting everything from disease risk to mood.
A lot of our problems, they start with the gut microbiome. And food and nutrition is the most powerful lever that we have that we could pull in order to revitalize and restore that microbiome and get it back to health. Because when we do that, these diseases wash away 95% of Americans. They are wildly deficient in fiber. The benefit of consuming fiber is that you get a healthier microbiome that's producing short chain fatty acids. If we want an effective immune system, we need a strong microbiome.
So many mental disorders do in fact originate in the gut.
I can point you to the studies that show that if you look within the state of these mood disorders, the gut microbiome is disturbed.
